Details on the exact specs range are still being finalized, but we might be looking at 4.5"-5.5" screen sizes with eventually flexible displays, Exynos Octa processors, and up to 16 MP camera with optical image stabilization technology. Since Samsung likely plans on premium prices for its F series, mass production issues of its components won't be a deterrent, like they were with the eventual flexible YOUM screen and OIS tech for the Note 3, which still might happen, but in much smaller batches...

Metal back cover removeable , is always ugly and clumsy.
And who TF told you that aluminum looks "premium"? LOL (only the menial iMedia spam it every day)
If Samsung do this with sealed smartphone , will fail like HTC(one). Samsung and HTC haven't zombies like Apple that buy any BS with the logo.

When the s4 was announced, an inside lab test was performed by Samsung and concluded that s4 is not the best in the market.. Thats the time when the beautifully crafted devices like XZ and Htc One were rocking the market.. And maybe they already saw the most beautiful--Oppo N1 :))
Samsung doesnt want to lose their arena thats why Flexible Display, Design 3.0, ISOcell, 64Bit ek ek are in the works, tomorrow we will hear about a Fresh UI look, I wish hahaha

"aha, so sammy after "spying" apple users found out that there is indeed market for premium build quality phones..."

Phones with a metal body was even before the first iPhone was released and today not only Apple use metal. So I don't see the reason why you came to such conclusion that Samsung spied exclusively Apple or Apple users.

Most rumors fall by the wayside. Based on the success of other metal-bodied high end smartphones (and the feedback Sammy has likely received from its consumer surveys), I think Sammy is going to have a premium offering for both the GS and Note lines (kind of how Apple has the S and C offerings).

The metal case rumors seem to be increasing, which may be an early indicator that Sammy is indeed going down the metal case path.

Yeah, but rumors start to flow the day after the official release of info on the current production model. I think that there will be metal and plastic offerings for both the GS and Note lines in 2014 as I posted above at #28.

Yah Nokia Sony HTC Huwaei tried phablets already.. Apple will be next
SAmsung is also making different phone parts of these companies.. Samsung started what people called gimmicks, then other companies followed by making their own software gimmicks too..
Hmm this is just a market of who makes the best, just choose and Buy ;)

Copy what exactly, there is nothing to copy from Apple or HTC for a start, one is dying and the other is losing it's momentum, huawei, like what is there to copy from them. They take their inspiration from Samsung, heck, they want to be the next Samsung, they wish they could replicate their sales by talking down on Samsung yet no one is taking them seriously....yet. Sony, err....like are the Koreans even paying attention to them or even Nokia's Kit kat mocking ads? No....because they don't perceive them as a legitimate threat.

All this is going to be is the premium line and they will have a midrange line with multiple colors made of plastic. Sammy is way late to the game with metal and making an aluminum phone is not innovation. Also, what good is a flexible display with an aluminum body. Remember it's the glass that breaks, not the screen. The old flexible screen rumor has been around for like 2 years now. Remember the GS3 was suppose to be ceramic or something. Sammy is just scared of the sales of the 5S and know they will have to deal with the iphone 6 next year. On top of that the iwatch will be coming out around that time. Give it up Sammy. You had your chance this year and blew it.

So then samsung begins to copy others. Makes sense since their phones were pretty lame. Now the need to steal LG's camera and HTC's metal. It's all good everyone takes from each other at some point. Makes for interesting combinations. Won't make Samsung any better than anyone else though

wow some people here really really dumb, if changing materials or adding ois is considering copying now then lol then people are getting dumb. its as dumb as saying oh your phone screen size is bigger so its copying that screen size. really have fanboys gotten that stupid that something like metal or colour is considered copying. there was metal phones and colored phones made years and years ago by companies like nokia, it isnt something new and revolutionary.

Samsung headquarters: We got so much freaking money... What we can do... What about cars? Nah... What about yachts? Nah... What about private jets? Nah... What about a super expensive über high-end Smartphone, made of top-notch materials with the latest technology available... But what about our Galaxy Line? Guys I'm bored, also want to spend money! OK let's do it!

I don't think anyone copies apple XD! That was funny to read, though LG copied samsung and they made a better phone. Now Samsung is copying HTC / Apple and also LG. I don't think you realize that all companies copy each other. It only matters who puts it out there first
